Upside Potential: 22.06%

Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS), featuring significant analyst and hedge fund interest, is one of the best low-priced AI stocks to buy right now. Back-to-back analyst notes this week reinforced a bullish case built around steady engagement growth, even as the stock’s valuation has kept pace.

On July 8, 2026, DA Davidson initiated coverage of Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS) with a “Buy” rating and a $26 price target. The analyst said Pinterest has grown year-over-year engagement in the low double digits for 10 straight quarters while growing global average revenue per user in the mid- to high-single digits. Despite that consistency in monthly active users and average revenue per user, the firm noted that Pinterest’s valuation has continued to decline even as competition for both engagement and advertiser spend has intensified.

That followed a July 7, 2026 note from Wells Fargo, which raised its price target on Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS) to $30 from $28 while maintaining an “Overweight” rating. Wells Fargo said core Pinterest second-quarter ad checks were modestly positive, though not yet reflecting meaningfully stronger time-spent trends. Checks on tvScientific were positive enough to lift the firm’s revenue contribution estimates for the second through fourth quarters. Wells Fargo expects Pinterest to deliver solid quarterly results but does not view them as a turning point for the business.

Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS) is an online visual search and discovery platform that operates globally. It enables creativity by allowing users to share and search for a wide range of ideas covering different topics. This could include fitness, style, recipes, art, and more. It also allows users to engage with advertisers, which is a key revenue source for the business.
